Description Peter Collins 2013-05-31 16:48:01 UTC 
Clean install of 13.04 on a Lenovo X60 installs fine but booting system doesn't give you a login screen.

The screen displays BIOS, a plain purple screen and then nothing. If I close the lid to force a sleep and then re-awake the machine it works fine.

Installed kernel was 3.8.0-23.34, changed grub to use nomodeset which sort of worked although display was very slow and unusable.

Updated to 3.8.0-23.34 but no changed.

Updated to 3.8.0-23.34 and working as expected.

3.9 works, case closed for upstream. Thanks for reporting this issue, and in case it breaks again please reopen the bug report.
